How to change the working directory to compile the UDF file in the fluent?

  When I start ANSYS FLUENT from either type of FLUENT-based system within Workbench, FLUENT Launcher will appear by default. Most FLUENT Launcher settings are available, except for the following option:
  -Working Directory (disabled). So I can’t add the UDF file.
  
  But with the fluent launcher (stand-alone) I can set my working directory. But from here I can’t switch to the post-CFD Result section. How do I do that??

  When you're running stand alone save the case & data at the end of the run. Then launch CFD Post and read the files in. There are advantages and disadvantages to running in and outside of Workbench.
